Description Sampling over five years (2004-2008) in Niokolo Koba National Park yielded 62 fish species from 22 families. Data are compared with records from the 1950s, yielding a conservative estimate of 73 fish species occurring in the park. Only native species are found. We compare species richness in five major habitat types (main river, tributaries, large oxbow lakes, temporary water bodies and spring pools) and thoroughly discuss putative differences observed in the fish community between the 1950s and 2000s.
